When electronic products are developed, in a prototype stage, electrical performance tests need to be performed on all links on a printed board, but test points (such as test holes, routing copper foils and the like) on the links are not used in a subsequent product mass production stage. Therefore, in order to ensure the workability of the printed board and its reliability in the environment, these test points are mostly covered with solder resist ink having a thickness of about 25 μm, which is not electrically conductive and not easily punctured. Before the electronic product is debugged, the solder resist ink on the test point needs to be removed to expose the copper layer below, so that the test probe can be well contacted with the solder resist ink, and then the electrical performance test is carried out. At present, the method for removing the solder resist ink mainly comprises the steps of polishing by adopting mechanical modes such as a knife, tweezers, sand paper and the like, and removing the solder resist ink on a point to be tested; or, the solder resist ink on the surface layer of the printed board is completely removed by adopting an alkaline solution.
